Needs better sources...
This article badly needs better sources. The ones that are there are difficult to judge as to their authority; they also seem to tell very different stories. The one from Thomas Fleming unintentionally makes Hamilton the originator of the whole panic, as he reportedly leaked the plans to pass a law that would make the scheme profitable. Other sources, like this mention, that it was the first Bank of the United States, that ignited and popped the bubble; the 'Sylla' resource confirms this as well.
That makes Hamilton's saviour role a bit more untrustworthy, to say the least. :) Pestergaines 15:02, 9 January 2011 (CST)
One interesting source seems to be from David J. Cowen, "The First Bank of the United States and the Securities Market Crash of 1792", but I can't seem to find a free online copy (derivative paper here)
Also, there is an interesting mention in Rozeff's The U.S. Constitution and Money, p.91-93, who refers to Cowen's paper above. Pestergaines 17:33, 9 January 2011 (CST)
